That's my aim for vehicles. I take my inspiration from BIS A2 units like Humvee which was mostly covered in dust and dirt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For roadblock duty.With a Red/Blue Beacon Light on it so we could see it clearly from the air.Will make this mod uniqe. Any plans on making a Bell Jet Ranger helo for this? They where common back then. Great mod ,would like to see a nice F-4 too. Please remember to remove pictures when quoting as per the forum rules. Also you may not see a Bell Jet Ranger or a F-4 as this mod is about recreating Operation Flashpoint which had neither. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marto 13 Posted February 12, 2017 Hi guys, this is great, congratulations on getting this project going, I'm very interested. If you like/need I can provide some advice on cold war uniforms... 1. The Soviet Sun Ray KLMK pattern for most of the 1980s should be a one piece coverall: http://camouniforms.net/index.php/eastern-europe/ussr/sun-ray-pattern-klmk The 2 piece KM-L came only in the late 1980s (1989-90s) - see same link. Both came with the face mask, and were reversible to a "night" pattern similar but smaller scale to US Night camo. Regarding the squad leader: KLMK caps never existed (unless an occasional custom made one...) but the standard khaki cap would match perfectly for this situation: http://camouniforms.net/index.php/eastern-europe/ussr/khaki/afghanka/1227-2015-09-28-18-07-06 The black beret on officers isn't really correct (unless they are MVD or Naval Infantry), perhaps could be changed to the Airborne blue beret that was worn in the 1980s? https://www.google.com.au/search?q=soviet+berets&safe=off&client=firefox-b&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjjydqHm4rSAhWDEpQKHXr4CcsQ_AUICCgB&biw=1920&bih=943#safe=off&tbm=isch&q=soviet+airborne+beret Regarding the US Woodland - I have to agree with other posters - the pattern look a bit too bright and too small shapes. Also it should not be Ripstop material, rather NYCO as ripstop was really only for tropical areas: NYCO version: http://camouniforms.net/index.php/north-america/usa/m81-woodland/nylon-cotton Ripstop: http://camouniforms.net/index.php/north-america/usa/m81-woodland Happy to help with advice on uniforms/camo if you guys need. Looking forward to the finished product! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marto 13 Posted February 12, 2017 Regarding the Soviet helmets here is a good resource for the ssh60 (as used in the original OFP): http://brendonshelmets.weebly.com/soviet-ssh60.html and http://brendonshelmets.weebly.com/soviet-ssh60-cont.html This would be better to include (either plain green or with KLMK cover) rather than the ssh68 "Cone Head": http://brendonshelmets.weebly.com/russia-ssh68.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But that doesn't mean we couldn't potentially do a retexture into olive or butan camo as a side addon. But for now, it's KLMK I agree keeping KLMK for the russians is the best option to keep it in the spirit of OFP. Besides it wasn't only worn by SF: scouts, engineers regular soldiers, etc wore it too if available... (especially for propaganda photos)... It would be great as a side project to have some models with eg TTsKO ( http://camouniforms.net/index.php/eastern-europe/ussr/ttsko ), khaki, KZS or even Spetsodezhda Border troops if recources permit ( http://camouniforms.net/index.php/eastern-europe/ussr ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rayko 112 Posted February 12, 2017 1. Agree with Marto - KLMK should be as overall. 2. The idea of following the OFP lore is great! Don't even think about adding real soviet uniform! If somebody forgot the story, there was a bunch of renegades with their leader Guba - so maybe it should explain why their uniform looks differ since they quit to be a part of soviet army... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norsu 180 Posted February 14, 2017 I started working on M939 series 5t trucks. They will use Arma 1 models for now but with new textures. Arma 1 M939 models will get some love with new wheels and other little details. We can export the wheels and details to brand new M939 model whenever that gets done. M939 series early wip: 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norsu 180 Posted February 14, 2017 The 5t truck had indeed camo paint in OFP. Camo itself won't be a problem but if we make one it's probably MERDC camo. But since there were many variants of this truck in OFP, there might aswell be different styles. We'll see. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rayko 112 Posted February 14, 2017 Well your mod, your choice. But if i were you - i'd make a precise textures from OFP. Since you decided to use KLMK camo on soviet soldiers instead real ones i thought you will make an HD remake of original game, but now your start to make a free interpritation. (The MERDC camo is a very strange choice as for me, in that case better to keep it olive) But your textures are GOOD anyway! Also waiting for hd model.

The reason we do things different in places is because we want our mod to stand out a bit from other OFP remakes, Like East V West or CWR. If we all stuck 100% to the original, it'd get boring from a modders POV. A bit of change here and there can spice things up 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
